Today, the Japanese Nikkei index made history by surpassing the 56,000-point mark for the first time, a surge attributed to the landslide victory of Sanaa Takeichi, Japan's first female Prime Minister, in the general elections held yesterday. The index rose over 4% to reach 56,380 points, while the broader Topix index also saw gains of 2.4%, reflecting a significant investor optimism in the wake of Takeichi's leadership.

Takeichi's ascent to the premiership began in October, and her economic policies have already pushed the domestic stock market to unprecedented heights. Stocks such as Ozora Bank saw significant increases, contributing to the overall market rally. However, Takeichi's approach has also triggered a sharp selloff in government bonds and a decline in the value of the yen, which fell against the dollar before recovering slightly in Asian trading.

In her first 110 days in office, Takeichi aims to implement sweeping changes to Japan's economy, signaling a new direction and ambitious reforms. Analysts are closely monitoring her policies and their immediate effects on both the stock market and the economy, with expectations set high for economic revitalization under her leadership.
